umlet的标记语言规范是什么?

标签: uml umlet

我一直在浏览网站,互联网,当然还有SO,似乎无法找到umlet中使用的标记语言的描述或规范。

在示例序列图中,例如:

title: sample
_alpha:A~id1_|_beta:B~id2_|_gamma:G~id3_
id1->>id2:id1,id2
id2-/>id1:async Msg.
id3->>>id1:id1,id3
id1.>id3:id1,id3:async return Msg
id1->id1:id1:self
iframe{:interaction frame
id2->id3:id1,id3:async Msg.
iframe}

- >, - >等是相当明显的,但结肠的作用是什么?

为什么需要强调等等。询问大脑想知道,因为这看起来像是一个有用的素描工具。

答案 0 :(得分:3)

找到an annotated script(从14.2开始看似无效):

//UML2 style titles are optional.
title:sequence diagram
//the participating objects are separated using the pipe symbol "|". Their names may be underlined using underscores.
_alpha:A_|_beta:B_|_gamma:G_
//The following line describes a (synchonuous) message originating from the first object sent to the second object, while both objects are active.
1->>2:1,2
//This message is asynchronous being sent from the second object to the first object. The messages is named.
2-/>1:async Msg.
//A message from the third object to the first object; both objects are active.
3->>>1:1,3
//A named asynchronous return message in UML2 style (using a stick arrow head).
1.>3:1,3:async return Msg
//This is a self call of the first object.
1->1:1:self
//Interaction frames may be used to show optional or conditional blocks within sequence diagrams.
iframe{:interaction frame
2->3:2,3:async Msg.
iframe}
